In a move that is sure to get liberal snowflakes rushing to their safe spaces faster than ever, Princeton University is now encouraging students
to report “problematic experiences based on [their] identity.” This
means that if students find themselves in a situation that makes them
feel offended or uncomfortable in anyway, they can – and should,
according to Princeton – go tell somebody about it, even if it is
something that normally wouldn’t result in disci

It’s said that about 80 percent of New Year’s resolutions are abandoned by the second week of February.1
This means if you made one for 2018, there’s a good chance it may
already have failed. There’s also a sizable number of people who set no
goals at all, New Year’s resolutions or otherwise, in part because they
may not realize the importance of goal setting and in part because they
may not know how to do it.2
There are other reasons why you may avoid goal setting as well,

Beginning shortly after President Donald J. Trump defeated Hillary
Clinton in the 2016 election, Americans were treated to a steady diet of
stories from the American Pravda media claiming that he “colluded” with
the Russian government to “steal the election.”
For months information meant to substantiate the claim, made in the
absence of any real evidence, was “leaked” to various news outlets known
to be friendly to Clinton, Democrats, and every known enemy

Commercial agriculture creates only a few jobs, since most commercial
farms make use of machinery. In small, developing countries, farmers
are paid less than the minimum wage in compensation for their hard work.
Being a commercial farmer isn’t all that great, since companies that
own the farms take 95 percent of the earnings for themselves. It also
isn’t beneficial to the land itself, since chemicals, synthetics, and
other artificial materials are used to eliminate pests and weeds. If
chemical pesticides and weed-killing substances are poisonous to humans,
then it would be lethal to the soil and to nature as well.

Organic gardening is the best
activity to start if you’re concerned about your health, the
environment, and want to find more ways to control your finances (and
earn a bit more on the side). It isn’t rocket science, and some schools
even incorporate community gardening into kindergarten curricula! If you
still aren’t convinced, here are a few reasons why you should start
your own organic produce garden.

Fresh and tasty – When you plant your own tomatoes,
you get to pluck them when they’re red and ripe. Tomatoes are more
flavorful when they ripen on the vine. Commercial farms harvest these
fruits way too early. Commercial tomatoes are usually green upon
harvest, since they have to be traveled long distances. Organic
gardening allows you to harvest your produce at the “ripe” time, and
your taste buds will thank you for it.

Nature’s steward – As mentioned, commercial farming destroys
the land with unnatural methods and chemical abuse. Organic farming, on
the other hand, minimizes the use of artificial farming methods,
or avoids it altogether. It also promotes soil health and a healthier
environment. By having your own organic farm, you influence others to do
the same. Small ripples turn into giant waves – start now and maybe
we’ll get to save our dying Earth.

Awareness and self-sufficiency – One of the best advantages
of backyard gardening is that it keeps you on your toes when it comes to
finances and community awareness. By gardening your own fruits and
vegetables, it’s more likely that you would eat your own produce.
Eventually, you won’t need to buy anything from the market anymore,
except meat and other cooking ingredients when you need it. When you
have too much to consume, you can either sell your produce or donate
them to the needy. Aside from saving your bank account, you help your
neighbors as well by providing them a healthier and definitely cheaper
food option.

A healthier lifestyle, of course – This is very
straightforward. Organic gardening helps you make healthier eating
decisions and habits, and promotes better mental health. In the morning
when you tend your garden, you expose yourself to the benefits of the
wonderful sun which helps your body produce much-needed vitamins like vitamin D.
Furthermore, the effort it takes to weed and water the plants completes
your daily exercise requirement. Most Americans nowadays lead a very
sedentary lifestyle, sitting in front of the T.V. or computer for more
than eight hours a day. Gardening, if taken seriously, can significantly
improve the U.S.’ rate of non-communicable diseases like cardiovascular
disorders and diabetes.

Discipline can be learned – Aside from being able to control
your finances, you get to learn patience, discipline, and delayed
gratification. Most people these days believe that they should be
rewarded for just being great, but that is not what reality is.
Gardening pays off pretty well, but not for impatient people. One who
practices a disciplined lifestyle can go to great lengths and achieve
whatever they desire in life. Patience and delayed gratification help a
person prosper by teaching patience. Unlike dogs and other domesticated
animals, we do not need instant rewards in order for us to learn
something. Organic backyard farming can help you learn these important
skills that you’ll surely be able to use in other areas of your life.
